Sins which promise worldly safety, credit, profit, contentment, as well as those sins that threaten the contrary. 5. In a word, all moral evil; hatred and Antipathy being of the whole kind, Psalm 119.128. especially of those evils which most endanger the New-man, Psalm 18.23. and such as are beloved sins, Matth: 18. vers. 8, 9.
